Calgary | Jun 21, 2016

On Saturday April 16, 2016 the CHBA (Calgary Home Builders Association) Calgary Region hosted the SAM Awards. With Broadview Homes setting the record overall for the number of nominations, they were honestly pleased and content having won a handful of awards early in the night. Then Broadview Homes won The New Homebuyer’s Choice Award and they were more than pleased and content, they were ecstatic – that was until the big announcement took everyone by surprise: Builder of the Year – Calgary was Broadview Homes. This was the first time Broadview Homes has won the award.

The New Homebuyer’s Choice award holds a big place in the heart of all Broadview Homes customers – having received top nominations slots for the Alberta New Home Warranty lead surveys via Customer Insight, the New Homebuyer’s Choice award demonstrates not only exceptional home designs, but the customer experience from construction to service.

Watch this interview with Broadview Homes Vice President, Peter-John Woolf as he talks about winning Builder of the Year in Calgary.

Interviews with Bev Nicol, Service Manager and Jon Turton, Construction Manager asked questions about team motivation, required attitudes to meet such set and meet high standards and what their reactions were to the awards.

“I have focused my efforts on two key ingredients:

Dedication to the quality (the product, the people and the end result)

The commitment to the customer, (their needs, expectations and promises made). It’s easy to come to work every day when you see your core philosophy is shared with so many talented people,” said Jon Turton, a 27-year industry veteran. “When I initially joined Broadview Homes three years ago, I knew that it was a different company, and winning Builder of the year has been a personal goal of mine for many years and to find this success working with the Broadview Team is a great accomplishment in my career.”

When asked how it felt to hear the announcement at the SAM awards that Broadview Homes was builder of the year, Bev still admits she gets goosebumps re-telling the story.

“I was absolutely shocked and overjoyed in the same 10 seconds. It was an emotional and exciting time for me to stand up on the stage with my peers,” shared Bev. “Our story starts at the top with Peter John, he has been inspiring and motivational with each and every one of us as individuals and as a team. He starts his day with visiting all of our offices and saying good morning and reflecting on something that he has seen or possibly a new idea. We often chat about any challenges that we may endure throughout a day and having that support is priceless in my opinion and a huge part of a managers and a company’s success.”

Qualico is proud to share the both the news of Broadview Homes’ big win. The efforts and industry-leading mentality of how they want to set themselves apart in the Calgary market has truly made Broadview homes the Builder of the Year for 2015.
